Do upper body one day, rest the next, lower body the next day, then rest after that and repeat. That way your muscles will have 3 rest days instead of 1 and you can have a harder workout. References :
after 2-3 workouts your body should get used to the workout, and soreness and get stronger and you wont be very sore after a few times. try every other day and seriously after a week you wont be sore. but you will still have lmited soreness for working out muscles but thats why its called a workout. the beginning soreness will go away. References :
reduce the amount of the workout so that you don’t get sore and you might also wish to get a massage and a hot tub afterwards. massages are pretty cheap in thailand but probably expensive where you are. References :
I start by exercising the sore muscles by doing the same exercise that made them sore in the first place. On workout and rest days eat plenty of potassium and calcium. Eat a banana with skin milk an hour or two before and after exercising. References :
One suggestion I can make is learn how to massage yourself, unless you got a personal therapist!
After your exercise when you hit the showers, just massage your legs, or where ever you’re sore. You can also use the massage sticks or like me, use a pin roller. References :
It depends on how sore you are whether you should rest or not, but you should ice the muscles for 15-20 minutes at a time because that helps to reduce the inflammation (not longer, because that could lead to more inflammation). Epsom salt baths will also help draw out the metabolic wastes that are causing the soreness (the magnesium helps with this process). Massaging the sore areas is also great to flush out the accumulated metabolic wastes. In addition, there is a natural remedy called arnica that helps me recover from the soreness in half the time–it is available in health food stores as a tincture or small pellets that dissolve in your mouth.

IMO…muscle soreness is not as bad as fatigue. If you physically feel too tired to work out, then take a break.
Good stretching can take the soreness out.

Rest is as important….as the workout itself. Take all the time you need, to fully recover. Your next workout will feel fresher!

I workout 6 days a week, and I never have this problem. Because I never work the same muscles when they’re still sore. Here’s my workout program:
monday: chest, triceps
tuesday: biceps, back
wednesday: cardio
thursday: shoulders, abs
friday: legs
saturday: rest
sunday: cardio
